Suzy Teele is the chief strategy officer for the ARM Institute. The institute aims to strengthen U.S. manufacturing through innovations in advanced manufacturing technology, particularly robotics and AI, and prepare the workforce to work alongside these technologies.

Composites, Workforce

Ferris State University’s College of Engineering Technology serves as a Michigan hub for America’s Cutting Edge, a federally funded national program.

This initiative provides free computer numerical control (CNC) machining training, aiming to rebuild the machine tool workforce.

The program’s first “bootcamp” began June 15 in Big Rapids. A second...

Lightweight Materials

For centuries, advanced alloys have been produced using the same fundamental approach – melting metals together and carefully controlling how they cool and solidify.

Believing that this age-old method has reached its practical limits, Foundation Alloy has developed a solid-state metallurgy platform capable of engineering alloys without ever melting...
